So today we arrived in Madrid! It is a great city! We did alot of walking today! We walked down like Mall Avenue in Madird full of shops. Mom went to Corte Inglese. She tried on a Gucci watch. It was about 1,000 USD. HOT DAM...no!?!?! We also ate some good food, I had Lentil Caserole and Turkery Planks. Dad had Consume and Ox Tail (mmmhhhmmm!). Mom had Veggi Puree and Beef Ragu! It was SO good. We got wine and desert and after dinner booze too!

Tomorrow is going to be a big day! We are going to the Prado and some other places! I am really really excited about the Prado it is sort of like the Louvre of Spain just not quite as big. Also, we are going to be doing some shopping mom needs to buy her spanish purse and dad is getting antsy. Not in a good way mind you!

Later.

So, yesterday was a great day! We went to the El Museo del Prado. The Louvre of Spain, but not quite as high one the "wordly" must see lists.

So, I have been reading some entrys of a fellow blog-a-bond user and decided to address them head on.

1.) QUIT BITCHING ALREADY ITS NOT ATTRACTIVE!

2.) Traveling is the experience of life time, and people lots of people give anything to have the opportunity that you have!

3.) IT'S FREE! This trip is free with for you! It is "included" in your year long stay package to BCN. You therefore have the chance to do what you want when you want to do it! You don't have to go on all the "death marches" you can sit them. I know that Tim isn't going to force any one to do something that they don't want to do. You should enjoy life!

4.) SNAP OUT OFF IT!

With Lots of Love,

Patrick ;-)

Arrival is an odd beast. On one hand you are happy to be home and to be with people that you have seen in like forever! On the other hand you are sort of bummed out...You adventure IS over!

So the flight how was WAY better than expected. It was actually GREAT AMAZING! I had about the best food, Vegi Lasagna on Aer Lingus! WOA! Also, I was thinking I met some of the coolest people on the plane. I was seated next to a guy name George and he was librarian for Trinity College in Ireland. If you don't what Trinity is...it is like one the OLDEST school in the world I believe. It was so cool talked to him...

Till Later.
